What is happening to Kramnik? Arrogant? Disoriented?

"Just read the comments on youtube."

I know I myself will come across as an arrogant prick for saying this, but reading all these commentators with their broken English is actually pretty funny.
it's tough to lose a game guys! let's be more understanding
Aren't most of us think better of their position until it's really losing? :D
Maybe it is what they put in Krammink's drink
It wasn't just the fact that he lost two awful games, it is the fact that he had quite the amazing brilliancy a few rounds before this.
In "Secret of practical chess", Nunn explains that "losing the thread" (i.e. a series of inaccurate moves) often originates in a faulty evaluation of the position at the start of the process.
Hearing their voices + Grischuck and Aronian, and then hearing Caruana's voice is pretty striking xD
Keywords: "blunder pawn" "hallucination" -- Yeah, he definitely high on the special sauce during the press conference; probably coming down after having a bad trip during the game.
Off-topic, but ... since we're on press conference videos, I decided to check-out So v. Aronian. I've never heard Wesley So speak before. Busted out laughing so hard. I thought someone was speaking off-camera and I was confused, and then Wesley moved his hand away from his mouth and I realized it wasn't some sort of prank or gag involving a cartoon character.

Now we know that if or when Wesley So retires, he can get work in Hollywood as a voice-actor for cartoons.
